4K UHD Review – Little Darlings

Summer camp cinema received a boost of popularity with the success of 1979's "Meatballs," which provided an inspired round of campground shenanigans and undersexed characters, supported by the star appeal of Bill Murray. 1980's "Little Darlings" initially seems as though it's headed in the same creative direction, once again returning to the great outdoors with teen players only interested in the mysteries of the opposite sex as they go about their daily adventures. The screenplay by Kimi Peck and Dalene Young is happy to indulge a little silliness when introducing the ensemble and the location, but "Little Darlings" sobers up quickly, daring to be a film about female sexuality and relationships that takes emotions seriously. There's bravery to the feature that's wonderful to see, even when director Ron Maxwell can't always balance the tone of the endeavor. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
